Bloomberg Says Interpretation of Constitution Will ‘Have to Change’ After Boston Bombing

[rickjump1 0]

You don't think, "toad" is less offensive to someone who disagrees with you than, "fucking idiot". I'm not going to be politically correct for someone who wants to change the state of Montana to what they had back home. I can't see that "toad" applies to you or anyone else on here. No cigar.

Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

Outstanding. QED.

I'll say this for the benefit of others reading, since I'm sure it's lost on you:

There's a huge segment of the American population that is very much on the fence about this. They are the crucial population you need to win over, not the choir you're already preaching to. They watch carefully how you behave and comport yourself in this debate. Act like an adult, and you'll win a lot of them over. But if they see you engaging in juvenile name-calling, they will consider all those on your side to be unstable and untrustworthy, and you will lose big time.

I will refrain from using "toad" or like words, but let's not turn this into a soap opera for that "huge segment of the American population.....".

Liberals just love having other people telling them how to live their lives. I mean who wouldnt want some rich asshole telling the citizens that big gulp they just bought is too sugary. And that they should be drinking cool-aid just like the rest of them.

I fucking hate cool aid.

>Liberals just love having other people telling them how to live their lives.

Right. They fight gay marriage tooth and nail, don't want people smoking pot and even want to make you listen to prayers! They're funny that way.

>I fucking hate cool aid.

Just drink the tea instead. That way you don't have to think.

So you are adamantly against gay marriage and you would like to bring back payer in school.

Interesting.

You mean the cool aid that says your guns are going to protect you from the government?

Or the cool aid that says you live in the best country in the world?

Or the cool aid that your flag is more important than any other flag.

Or the cool aid that your form of government is superior to anything else.

Any of that cool aid?

And don't forget all my anti-environmental stances, and how much I hate education!

This. I'm strongly opposed to additional constraints on legal gun owners, but I refuse to get on board with the NRA because of how crazy they come across. A reasonable debate involves honesty and civility from both sides...qualities neither side of the gun debate seem particularly interested in.

Every time you call someone like me a toad, or a fucking moron, or anything else like that, you undo the convincing that people like lawrocket, Kennedy, sfzombie, and my son do helping me to see their point of view.

I may never agree down the line, but, ya know -- being able to see a point of view makes it possible to integrate it into a system. You don't like the system the way it is now -- do you really think that if you've pissed off as many people as possible who were on the fence, that you'll like the next one better?

It's funny how hard, however, they work to keep people from smoking tobacco, exercising their 2nd amendment rights, or getting your kids happy meals.

I'm also very impressed with people that throw the f-bomb into each post. If I see 4 or five of those, I'm not only impressed with their manliness, but I give weight to what will clearly be a well thought out, reasoned opinion. I like to read them out loud to seniors at the retirement homes.

that's what 'compromise' is for: that way they all win - no gay marriage, no happy meals, weird-ass lightbulbs, no guns, no smokes, prayer in school (but in an enviromentally friendly way), unequal rights for some, more taxes AND more borrowing, background checks and psych evals for buying everything and to vote,....

everyone wins

Did you see in the news today that Obama is exempt from the over 3M retirement account tax (that is in his budget, should they pass it)?

I don't see how the NRA expects anyone to take it seriously, when they have speakers like Glenn Beck at their annual convention.

they seem to have a true blind spot for retrospective. Group think gone too far. But you can argue they have to, considering their opposition is in exactly the same predicament.

got any cites handy? I hadn't seen any concrete proposals around this yet, just know the investment world has been sharpening arrows for a couple weeks to deal with this turkey of an idea.
